“So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless.” ~I Corinthians 15:58
You’re probably painfully familiar with New Year’s resolution statistics, if only because you’re one of them. Whether it’s a small, (seemingly) easily achievable goal or a huge, life-changing goal, people tend to fail at the same rate: Approximately 80 percent of people who make New Year’s resolutions have dropped them by the second week of February.
Many don’t make it nearly that long. Research conducted by Strava using over 800 million user-logged activities in 2019 predicts the day most people are likely to give up on their New Year’s Resolution is January 19. Strava calls it quitter’s day.
I am sure we have all been guilty of quitting something we should have pressed on and completed. Most people quit something because they feel that the progress they are making needs to be faster. It is challenging to be consistent when you want immediate results.
Paul tells us to be consistent and know that each day all that we do for our Heavenly Father is never useless. A good word, a kind act, and a generous deed are all used to point others to the way of Jesus. Let us keep going together and transform the world through each action of our lives.
Journeying Together,
John
